Are you sure you are eating enough insoluble fiber. when I first started Heathers diet I was a little confused and didn't eat hardly any insoluble fiber and that made my constipation much worse! I personally take Lexapro, an anti-depressant/anxienty med-helps keep my mental state even and its a lot easier to deal with the IBS. I take Mira-Lax, a laxative powder once a day in the am-works great at keeping things moving, does cause a little D and gas but its a lot better than not going! I take 8 fibercon a day and drink a TON of water, and do a lot of cardio exercise-the exercise helps a lot! I have some Levsin, its suppose to help keep the colon for spasming or help it relax but its not very effective for me. What EXACTLY are your symptoms??
